(Jeremiah was born in Anathoth, about sixteen hundred and ...)
Jeremiah was born in Anathoth, about sixteen hundred and twenty years before the birth of our Saviour. Anathoth was one of the thirteen cities that were given to the priests in the time of Joshua. It was situated about three miles north of Jerusalem, within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin. Jeremiah was thus of the sacerdotal or priestly race. Prophets were the special messengers of the Almighty, were commissioned, as he saw fit, from every rank and employment in life, and were not confined to the family of priests, Elisha was called while ploughing in the field, and Amos was "an herdsman, and a gatherer of sycamine fruit." Prophets were charged with making known the will of God to men. God delivered his messages to them in various ways; sometimes by an audible voice, sometimes in visions or trances, and sometimes in dreams of the night. They delivered their messages to men in various ways; sometimes by direct address, sometimes by parables, and sometimes by signs or symbols which the habits of the eastern nations rendered it easy for them to understand. Sometimes they wrote their prophecies on pieces of parchment, and caused them to be hung up in the temple where all men could read them. They went very plainly clothed, led a laborious, self-denying life; and were often exposed to suffering from poverty and persecution. Jeremiah, like Samuel, was called at an early age to this solemn and responsible office. Previously published by The Boston Massachusetts Sabbath School Society.

Joseph Alden was born on January 4, 1807 in Cairo, New York, United States. He was the son of Eliab and Mary (Hathaway) Alden. He was a descendant in the sixth generation of John Alden of Plymouth.
Alden entered Brown University but transferred to Union College, where he graduated in 1829. For two years he studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1839 Union College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1837 Columbia College the degree of Doctor of Laws.
At the age of fourteen Alden began to teach in a district school, and from that time forth he devoted his life to the work of instruction. In 1832 he became a tutor at Princeton. In 1834 he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church, Williamstown, Massachussets, but resigned after a few months to accept a professorship at Williams College. Thereafter, although acting as a supply and as college pastor, he gave his entire time to educational work and writing.
At Williams, where he served from 1835 to 1852, he was first professor of Latin, and then of English language and literature, political economy, and history. In the latter year he accepted the chair of mental and moral philosophy at Lafayette College, leaving there in 1857 to take the presidency of Jefferson College, which office he held for five years.
From 1867 to 1882 he was principal of the State Normal School at Albany, New York.
His published writings disclose tireless industry and a wide range of interests. They are chiefly of a didactic nature, many of them books for Sunday-school libraries, others intended to be used in the classroom. His was the practical type of mind and he wrote with a view to getting results in every-day life, whether his subject was philosophy, government, or religion. Among these writings are: The Aged Pilgrim (1846); Alice Gordon, or the Uses of Orphanage (1847); The Lawyer's Daughter (1847); and many other works.

Alden was more highly regarded as a teacher than as an administrator and was best-known perhaps as an author. His success in the classroom was largely due to his ability to clarify a subject quickly and reveal the essential facts. A clear thinker himself, he trained his students to think logically. For generalities or splurge he had no tolerance, and was likely to make one who indulged in them feel ridiculous. His lesser success as an official was due to the impression of impatience and condescension he gave to those who had dealings with him, his habit of pointing out errors for the pleasure of correcting them, and a tendency to lose his balance and make ill-advised remarks.
Quotes from others about the person
"He was a man of fine presence, about five feet ten inches tall, and well-proportioned, with massive head well-rounded, hair a little thinned on top and turned to iron grey, and whiskers of the Burnside order. " - J. W. Wightman
Alden was twice married: first, in 1834, to Isabella, the daughter of Reverend Gilbert R. Livingston; and second, June 30, 1882, to Amelia, the daughter of George W. Daly, of Tompkinsville, Staten Island. He left a son, William Livingston Alden.
